Story: The Shadow

This week in my Writing For Young People class we are doing older reader picture books. This is the text for my picture book, it works fine without pictures so I thought it would be alright to share. Next week is children's chapter books, so expect an extract from that next week.

There’s a shadow inside mummy. You can’t always see it, but
I know it’s there. Sometimes I see it under her eyes, a grey and green and
black shadow, and I tell it to leave her, but it won’t.
